These freerolls are way better than regular freerolls. At least the number of players and donks are restricted as some effort for getting the points is there...

That really happens, believe or not. Regardless you finished busted, I will play pair of aces or kinds all-in pre-flop no matter what my opponents hold. For aces I will be leading in best case 9:1 which will lead mostly to double-up. Never fear elimination, it is just still only a freeroll. Playing all-in aces/kings (pocket pairs) is nearly always the good choice. Wish a good luck. If you worry just call and see flop firstly. Make an all-in decision on river if you won't be sucked out.

You cannot be results oriented. Those are pretty sick beats but you just have to keep putting the money in good. You were a big favorite in both hands. Plus folding those hands preflop would be an even bigger leak. You just have to shake it off and register for the next one. It's one big session and good things will start to happen.

I played the 10pm po freeroll again and I made the final table again. I finished in 6th place. I was in middle position with about ten big blinds and I had ace-3 offsuite. Preflop it was folded around to me so I went all in. The opponent that called me had 20 to 30 big blinds and he called with ace-jack and he caught a jack on the flop. I'm not surprised that I lost this hand because the opponent had a better hand and a much bigger stack.
Once we got to the final table the action had been pretty much all in or fold so I probably would of move up another spot just by waiting and folding.
I am happy with my results tonight because I finished in the money and I wasn't the first to bust out of the final table.
Also, earlier today I played a little on the poker client and I won some chips. I wish there was more traffic over on the poker client cause I could use the work on my cash game.

I finished in the money again at the 10 pm po point-roll on carbon, 6th or 7th position.
On the hand that I was eliminated on I had ace-jack suited and my opponent who called had ace-2 suited(the opponent had a different suite in case you were wondering). I had between 10 and five big blinds and my opponent had about the same so I was a little surprised the opponent called.
I am a little embarrassed not by my final result of the tournament but by my play before I got into the money. Before I got into the ten big blind range I got one hand that was of any value and I didn't connect with it on the flop or the turn so I folded when my opponent confronted me with a big raise. I tried a couple of bluffs and I gave up some blinds and eventually I got to the point where I had ten or less big blinds so I had to raise all in or fold. My first all in was under the gun with queen ten off-suite. The opponent to my left called with ace-king off-suite. I won but I didn't eliminate the opponent. I started to type in the comments "sorry you should of won that hand" but you can only comment when its your turn or something so I didn't apologize.
I successfully went all in a few times before I made it into the money. I even cracked a pair of aces.
Anyways sometimes luck can help more than skill.

I played in the 10pm po freeroll on carbon and I didn't last very long.
I'm so embarrassed that I don't want to talk about it.
